I think I need an intervention

Seriously, if there is a god he will empower me with the ability to stop buying body jewelry. I bought a new storage container for all my jewelry last night and spent the better part of 3 hours sorting it all out. I'm pretty sure I have an addiction. Does anybody else have this problem. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Stretching with silicon tunnels?

I bought a big tool box from b&q (with some extra dividers), and spent 2 days cutting holes in foam for plugs. Filled it up, but i'm sure i still spend at least an hour a week rearranging and generally staring at it.
now i've gone bigger, my plug selection is rather diminished. something like 8 pairs? ):
i think my current wishlist is $800, plus extra one off expensive pretties i don't really NEED (Like quetzalli carved amber nd more abaraka). i'm waiting for luciferin preorders next.

yeah..
anyone wanna buy my old 5/8"s? XD
i can't possibly end up with two boxes...

Re: Stretching with silicon tunnels?

after i bought the fourth, it was getting a bit stupid :D

Re: I think I need an intervention

I think if you buy more jewellery at one size it deters you from stretching bigger, because you have to buy the jewellery again. I could do with getting a proper thing to keep my jewellery in, i keep mine on a desk xD.

Re: I think I need an intervention

I have a little tackle-box type thing from Body Art Forms for my jewelry. =) I used to have a pretty bad buying addiction but now I HAVE to save money so I can only buy the essentials... right now I need a smaller circular barbell for my septum and some bioplast for my double helix. Wouldn't mind getting a new pair of plugs, though!
I think the reason I'm waiting so long before stretching to 1G and then to 0G is because I know once I'm at 0G I'll want to buy every pair of plugs I see!
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

I have a little one, which is a nice little size for all my bars and BCRS, ect, but it's way too small for my plugs and tunnels and things unfortunately :/

Omerica Organic do some clever little plug bags, but they're REALLY expensive :(

Re: I think I need an intervention

I dont have anything fancy, i just have cheap stuff.
I want to stretch to 12mm now, 7mm more than my original goal size xD.
Because bodyjewelleryshop have the nicest tunnels ive ever seen, and they start at 12mm.
